• Notes

  (Research):A James Winder shows up in «a href="https://familysearch.org/search/collection/results?count=20&query=%2Bgivenname%3AJames~%20%2Bsurname%3AWinder~&collection_id=1596147" »Virginia, Freedmen's Bureau Field Office Records, 1865-1872«/a» on FamilySearch.org, indicating James had been a slave before the Civil War. From Deven Winders Lewis, Apr 2014: We had tracked James Winder and Ellen back to 1870 in Wythe, Elizabeth City (became Hampton), VA, but no record before that. I've found some records at familysearch.org, Virginia Freedmen's Bureau Correspondence 1865-1872 that reference a James Winder and an Ellen Winder of Hampton/Elizabeth City. It appears they were probably slaves, and my theory is that they may have been owned by members of the Levin Y. Winder family. Wythe was named for the Wythe who built Chesterville plantation there in what is also known as Back River. Chesterville changed hands and came into the hands of the Winder family. A good article about this is at «a href="http://crgis.ndc.nasa.gov/crgis/images/5/57/The_Winder_Family_of_Chesterville.pdf"»The Winder Family of Chesterville«/a» Notice the Hudgins name. As I said, I found references to a James Winder and Ellen Winder under the VA Freedman's Bureau link at familysearch, but also found a fascinating case there that starts at «a href="https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-266-13036-181361-6?cc=1596147"» Image 362«/a». concerning a Mary Winder, widow of William Winder - there's a William J. Winder, a William H. Winder and a John Winder - not clear yet on how it all fits - but it also concerns Carter Hudgins who is of the same Hudgins family connected with Chesterville. Chesterville is in Hampton Co., VA and the case concerns a Matthews Co., VA property. I know the pdf article indicated slaves were transferred around in the family.... Based on James Winder's 1818-1820 birth, and IF he had been a slave of a member of the Winder family, it would have to have been during the time period of Mary and Dr. George Harmanson Winder's time on the property.
